"Here, available for the first time in full, are the extraordinary interviews with John Lennon conducted by Rolling Stone editor Jann Wenner in 1970." "With characteristic honesty and deadpan wit, Lennon discusses the breakup of the Beatles, his favorite tracks with the group and how they were made, fellow musicians including the Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan, his attitude toward revolution and drugs, and the tenderness of his relationship with Yoko Ono."

"Published on the twentieth anniversary of his death, and containing substantial new material never before seen in print, Lennon Remembers presents a compelling portrait of a complex musical genius at the height of his career. Occasionally anguished and angry, often reflective and poignant, these interviews are indispensable to understanding who John Lennon was and why his legacy continues to resonate today."--Jacket.

Synopsis de l’éditeur

""Lennon Remembers" is classic Lennon. It's not a sit-back-and-put- your-feet-up read ... it's like a jolt on your nerves like bad, bad espresso. People with weak stomachs should close the window before reading. You might just feel like jumping out."--Yoko Ono, from the Foreword."A must-have for anyone who loves and remembers Lennon."--"San Antonio Exporess""Arguably the most legendary interview ever conducted with a major celebrity."--"Library Journal""As riveting a document as it was three decades ago ... there is still nothing to rival this interview in the annals of rock journalism--it has lost none of its power to shock."--Anthony DeCurtis, "Rolling Stone""Finds Lennon in fine form, still bitter about the breakup of the Beatles, full of optimism about his future solo projects, opinionated, emotional and full of life. It captures his mercurial character more exactly than any other book on the Beatles I've read."--"Independent on Sunday""This is the only voice that will ever articulate what it was really, really like to be in the Beatles when it all went wrong--caught in a moment, rasping, raving, and flaming mad."--"Uncut"Lire la suite...
